### 1/5 — Why?

*2026-04-24*

This is really useful for like 10 minutes if it has what you want for free but it’s absolutely useless after. Why would I pay to use a generator I can probably find for free online!? I thought it would be nice for making worlds but I think I would rather spend 2hours searching the web for the same thing. Just unlock everything and add some ads whenever you want to go to a generator or something!
It’s annoying and basically useless.

**Developer response:** I'm an indie dev trying to make a living, so unfortunately I can't give everything away for free. But there are still trillions of results that you can produce without paying anything!

### 3/5 — Suggest

*2025-12-25, version 13.4*

I would like to suggest that you add a donation button, so that people who enjoy using your services can show their appreciation by making a contribution.

I give to you 3 stars

### 2/5 — Why?

### 4/5 — Should not cost that much money

*2025-06-05, version 12.4*

Really cool app but their is no way it should cost $20 to unlock everything

### 4/5 — Nice but Pricey

*2025-04-03*

It is a nice app but there are possible improvements and the prices are a bit high for the results. Being able to more easily change attributes instead of just regenerating the entire subject would make more sense.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2025-03-30, version 11.8*

This app is PERFECT for my world building and it gives me all the info I need

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2025-01-19, version 10.6*

Love it

### 1/5 — Paid for premium, generators still locked behind second paywall?

*2024-11-26, version 9.8*

Same as other reviews. Opened app, no apparent way to try features with ‘supporting indie developers’. Paid for ‘all generators’.
Attempts at generating content results in another paywall demanding 79.99 annual subscription to generate. That is insane, given the UI,UX and (apparent) features.

If indie developers want support, maybe allow users to try features first, stick to one paywall or explain properly that greed is the motivator, don’t charge exorbitant subscription fees, avoid ‘dark patterns’ which big companies engage in.
Will initiate request for refund

### 1/5 — How long after I pay should I expect the generators to unlock?

*2024-07-26, version 9.4*

15.99 was actually 19.99 and charged me 25.97?! All that is fine, but why are the generators still stuck behind a pay wall?

### 1/5 — Glitchy game

*2024-06-05, version 9.4*

I purchased the 15 dollar all generator bundle and it never properly updated in the game. I closed and reopened the app, turned off my phone, redownloaded it. Major problem this game steals your money everyone that’s 15 dollars I’ll never get back
